Do I Need To Do A Wheel Alginment When I Put New Tryes?

[SkyKC]

Hi,

I have done a wheel alignment recently, but at that time all four tyres were worn from the iner side curerent tryes are 235/40/17. Do I have to do another wheel alignment when I put four new tyers 235/45/17 ? Please advise.

Cheers

Wrong section but anyway, if your suffering from excessive inner wear on tyres you've probably had your car lowered. This wear is caused by too much negative camber to fix this you will need camber kits front and rear.

if the width of the tyre changes, as urs has then I'd say yes you do need another wheel allignment.

have replaced front and rear with adjustable whiteline camber and castor kits, i think rear wheels got 2 degrees negative camber, is it too much?.... car is not lowerd too much, 355mm front and 345 rear.

I'm not sure, you'll probably have to ask Sydney Kid or someone else knowledgeable in that area. If the tyres have already started wearing on the inside it's too late to correct it.

2deg is too much on the rear for street driving. You need to look at around 0.5-0.75deg camber on the rear and about 1-1.5deg on the front. If it's still wearing too much after that, take it to a better wheel aligner... Some are really slack and dont care about what they're doing and/or have really crappy machines that are rarely calibrated so dont read right.

Yea buddy seeing as the tyres were worn when you did the last alignment, then new tyres will need an alignment to get the most out of them. once the tyres are wearing on one side, an alignment isnt going to make them wear straight again. and it might not seem too important but make sure you have the correct tyre pressure before you do the alignment, makes a difference.
